The consular and diplomatic appropri-
alton bill was then proceeded with, but its
consideration was soon interrupted by
personal explanation of Mr.. Mcpherson
He referred to the fact that few DAYS
ago, owing to an imagined slight on the
part of the then presiding officer, he had
been unfortunately betrayed into re-
mark which he now wished to recall. He
expressed his regret at tine words which
he had then used, remembering as he did,
the many kindnesses which he had receiv-
ed from that distinguished gentleman as
presiding officer, as senator, as cabinet
officer and as private citizen. The record
which that gentleman had made while
presiding officer of the senate would be
remembered by him Mr.. McPherson) as
one both of ability and exact fairness as
one no less distinguished than that of
any of his predecessors.
Mr.. Sherman expressed qualification at
the statement and thanks for the kind
words utteIe ed by him.

The question is often asked in re.
publican papers "What has the coun-
try gained by the political change
in 1SS4?" What has the country
gained sure enough? Let US note
some Of the benefits: The people
have gained enough public land to
make four states the size of Arksn-
sas, all of which had been sqnan-
dered In railroad grants by the repub-
lican party, and none Of which would
have ever been recovered except for
the political change in 1884. The
public have gained enough in the
more honest and efficient collection
Of the public revenues, and prudent
public expenditures, to be able to
pay s2l, 100000 year more in pen.
sions than the republican party ever
paid, and then pay $l09, 100000 a
year of the public debt as against
se5,OOO,OOO year under republican
government. The people have gain.
ed $4,000, 900 by sitting down on a
five years subsidy OF 100000 to the
Pacific monopolists and taught that
crowd of monopolists that the gov.
srnmcnt was a bigger thing than
their corporation. The people have
gained by the extension Of the star
route mail service by sixteen thous.
and miles, and yet its annual cost to
tho people is $4,000 less than it
was when the administration began
The people have gained by having
the mail service sslf-sustaining, as
it will be before the close of 1888,
whereas before the political change
Of 1884 the service fail-d to pay ex.
penses by nearly tll,OO0,000. II
,he.e gains wsrs all they would sm-
ply pay the people for having made
the political change in 1884. Anoth.
er gain is ia the riddance of the cor.
rupt navy ring, and the assurance
that we will have Il pretty respects-

TEE Osceola visitors who attend
ed the Presidents reception in Mem.
phis, last week, have all returned to
their respective homes. To sum up
their aggregated experiences while
away would fill up book, Some
saw the President, while others too
timid to risk the effect of jam in
the surging mass of humanity, did
not. Some had the pleasure OF shak-
ing hands with both Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland, while others were only
permitted to stare at them at long
or short range over the heads of a
wilderpess of people. The majority
Of the Osceo ola sight-seers, unable to
obtain board and lodging, had to be
content with keeping fast awake
until their return home. The recep-
ton, in the estimation of all, was an
imposing and gorgeous ceremony;
the FIRE works, music, procession, the
roar of artillery, together with the
decorations and ample display of
bunting was grand, soul-stirrlng and
patriotically inspiring, and captlvat'
ed all alike, big, little, old and young.
Those of US who couldn't get away,
and remained at home, stirred in
our easy, everyday go-to- work old
clothes, enjoyed our regular meals
subjected ourselves to the nightly
wooiugs and soft oaresses of the god

ouietude, accurate and vivid descr'p-
tons of the panoramic scenes being

Thus have the different tastes and
temperaments, wilfully or otherwise,
been iu a measure gratihec. All
are happy. Aud now that a real,
sure enough, live President Of the
United States has been seen among
the people of this southland, n new
interest is awakened, and feeling
will prevail in future, that we are
more closely allied with, and are .
part and parcel of this great and
glorious Union, whose governmental
management Is conducted thousand
m,les away.

NIeEq aand,. $50, 900 Piano.
New York Jonrnal.


MIR. Henry @. Marqusnd's $4,000 piano
arrived on the steamer Cansda last week,
and there was Z tremendous sensation
among art circles. The piano which ar
rived yesterday is not piano. 1t is q
piano casing. The works, the parts of
the instrument which produce the music,
are to be made in this country, because
the American pianO-makers know better
than their British felloW-Workers how TO
manufacture the works.
The piano cost just ST, 800 to build.
It's legs are Of pJrpnyry, its panels of
lapis leZulj, and it is inla1d with garnets,
amethysts, sapphires, and beryls, and
with sll manner of precious metals work
ed in beautiful designs.
MIR. L. Alma Tadems, the great London
artist, who paints decorations for society
ladies' and designs costumes for actors
who wsat TO succeed IN life, has 81 600
of his handiWOrk on the cover.
Mr.. Tedems himself had the Costliest
piano in the world until Mr.. Marguand
conceived his idea, and with great irony
selected Mr.. Tadema to decorate the very
| instrument thst was going to make Daitry
the pride OF his own drawing room.
1t has taken three years TO put to-
gether this wonderful collection OF Jewels
and costly woods watch IS to be digaitied
| by the name OF piano. When the duty
has been paid and d tongue given TO the
casing by the American piano-Iuakers the
piano will be worth Just $50, 900 TO Mr.
Marqusnd at least.
! Piano dealers who hsve cynical Idea
that pianos should produce music say
that Mr.. Marquand's piano will be e very
inferior one Mr.. Tadema's magnif-
Gently arreyed piano is said TO produce s
musical tone some what akin to con-
sumptive tin pan when it is banged real
hard with & very healthy CleaVer. Other
piano dealers who have q sneaking idea
that some people do not always tell the
truth have the hsrdihood 10 say that il
this piano was inlaid with gold and had s
monogram set with diamonds it would
not cost one half Of $50 900.
Mrs. Jay Gould recently paid $500 fol
q plano. G. Z. Huntington showed his
close fstedness by only expanding S2060
and Judge Hilton, who also desires to bt
fsshionsbly expensive, but Can't afford {
crack piano, got piano for the insight
fcsHt sum of $4,000. very bold and in
dependent piano dealer has asserted tina
these pianos were the best made. Inger-
soil, the chair manufacturer, dared 10 ps,
$500 for piano, and the late captain
James B, Esds paid $4,000 for piano.
All of these pianos had monograms il
silver or gold, the bsst OF woods, ant
elaborately carved designs.
Mr.. Marquand, it is said, however, doe
not wish 70 GaZzIe the musical viTluosi
but to complete the unique decoration Q
his house. which is fitted from top t
, bottom with Gil sorts OF phenomena i
the way OF furniture and gdornment.
Mr.. MArquand gave g bond for tn
duty on the piano, and it VIII be sen
unopened to his villa at Newport, Wher
it will delight the eye, even if it does nc
! please the eGr.

WHY so FEW MARRY.

Two principal causes have led to the
decline in mstrlmony among fashionable
or ould-be-fsshionabl circles in New
York, and to less, though still to = con-
siderable degree in some CT the other
large cities. The first is the increased
comforts and diminished expenses Of
bachelor life; the second is the over
worship to which ne have accustomed
our women.
The ayldity with which suites we're Sc
cured in the first bachelor apart
ment house built in New YORK
soon led to the erection OF a large num-
Der OF similar structures. In these
suites OF two, three, or more rooms
can be had ct cost little exceeding what
q man used TO have TO pay for one large
furnished room in q we'll situated lodg-
ing house. Some of these houses have
restaurants attached, and IN others the
occupants can arrange with the .j.nitOr
for the supply OF light breakfast. The
number Of clubs has increased almost
pfoportionately with thst Of the apart
ment houses. At his CLUB the member
hnds 81 amount of comfort, often OF lux
ury, that only an enormously rich men
could furnish for himself. Here he can
dine or lunch ut price which little more
than covers the cost Of the provisions.
Many of the clubs have sleeping rooms
over the public ones, and thus Cffer eX-
ceptionsl advantages to bachelors.
A single man, with sn Income Of $500
to $1,000 year, can live well and dress
we'll II properly started he can haye 81
unlimited am0unt Of social gayety, anG
an occasional bouquet or bopbonnieEe

pected to make tor ne innumerahle hos
pitalities received. Now, supposing tha
he is sufficiently in love with some girl &c
be willing to surrender the greater por
ton OF his little comforts to the desire tC
make her his wife, is he likely to find he
willing to accept him? Most PROBABLY
not. And if she should accept him, h.v'
her education and training been such s
to make her heIpmate TO him? Again
the answer is negative. In considering
the wherefore Of these negatives, the sec
ond principal cause, before stated, is nat
urally reached.
The society young lady wants to beg1
her married life on the same scale as tia
on which her parents are ending theirs
Her parents pet and indulge her in ever
way, her bachelor friends adore her, an
she receives almost as much worship as
goddess in the days of Greece and. Rome
